From the Big Bang to Social Consciousness
Captivating interdisciplinary journey that bridges scientific questions and sociopolitical issues and reminds us how brain, body, and environment form an indivisible system.
Where do our knowledges come from? What motivates our actions? Why is the world doing so poorly? These questions, apparently distinct, are the starting point of a great adventure aimed at exploring the most complex object in the universe: our brain. A reference work on this body-brain in constant interaction with its environment, Our Brain at All Levels is also an evolutionary history of the emergence of human thought, from the Big Bang to the consciousness of self and others.
Far from a dry scientific book, this transdisciplinary narrative is presented in the original form of a dialogue between a science popularizer and an activist filmmaker. Over the course of their meetings, the two collaborators address both the basic grammar of the nervous system and emotions and language, the self-organization of living systems and the self-management of human communities, the predictive brain and climate upheavals. With them, we gradually understand the need to build bridges between scientific knowledge and sociopolitical concerns.
The fruit of 20 years of work, this exceptional compendium of knowledge invites us, quite simply, to explore what it means today to be human. An ambitious and captivating journey accessible to anyone curious to understand the functioning of Homo sapiens. And if understanding our brain were a first step toward effecting social changes as urgent as they are necessary?
